The New England Patriots are working toward clinching home-field advantage throughout the playoffs in the AFC, and they are off to a great start on Sunday afternoon against the Tennessee Titans at Gillette Stadium. New England got out to a 7-0 lead over Tennessee when quarterback Tom Brady hit tight end Rob Gronkowski with a touchdown strike.

For Gronkowski, he is having another All-Pro type season. The hulking tight end entered Sundays contest with 61 catches for 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns. Gronkowski remains the best weapon at his position in the National Football League, presenting a ton of nightmares for opposing defenses.
New England is 11-2 and hoping to finish the season strong. The Patriots already have the AFC East clinched, something that has become a ritual for the men of Foxborough. Look for New England to win out, playing a very soft schedule the rest of the way. The Patriots would do well to get a BYE week, due to some key injuries on the offensive side of the ball including Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman.
